Protein-Concentrate Kit (Med)

The Chemicon Protein-Concentrate kit uses a proprietary reagent Universal Protein Precipitation Agent (UPPA). Protein solutions as dilute as 1 ng/mL can be quantitatively concentrated into a small volume. Protein precipitation is not effected by the presence of detergents, chaotropic, or other common laboratory agents. After precipitation, the precipitate is suspended in a small volume of Precipitate Suspension Buffer supplied with each kit. If the protocol is followed correctly, the recovery is generally 100%. There are enough reagents for concentrating up to 30 mL of dilute protein solution.

Suitable for concentrating proteins for running gels, raising antibodies, protein purification, protein assays and other applications.

This kit is not suitable for those proteins which may lose some of their biological activities when precipitated.

PROTOCOL: ImportantPerform the entire procedure in the cold (ice bucket) unless specified otherwise. Concentration should be performed in a centrifuge tube. For small volumes, use microfuge tubes. Always position microfuge tubes in the centrifuge at the same orientation, i.e. cap-hinge facing out-ward, this will allow the pellet to remain glued to the same side of the tube during repeated centrifugations and minimize the loss of protein pellets. See product insert for protocol.
